Hello,
I want to purchase the S6 Edge Plus, and I found it on eBay Italy for a very good price, and I was wondering if the S6 Edge Plus series has the EU regional lock as in the past in other EDGE series, as I am going to use non EU sim.
I remember I bought the NOTE EDGE last year in Spain, and it had that sticker on the box "European model , this product is only compatible with EU sim".
now the EDGE PLUS seller claims that the device is SIM FREE (worldwide), but I have some doubts as I know Samsung has this region locks, can any European friends advise if their device was locked to European sim, and if the box had that sticker as well? or Samsung stopped this procedure ?
Thanks,:good:
Roy

HI guys,
I bought an ATIV S in Malaysia running on stock rom and not bound to any carrier. Changed the CSC to ATO and updated to GDR3. Used the phone for few days and then sent it to my brother in another country with a different time zone. When he tired to put his sim the phone can't detect it.....sim card missing. He tried multiple sims but all not detected.
I am confused as what could be the reason since it was working fine in Malaysia. What shall i do ?

First of all, this is the Developement & Hacking section. This question belongs to the Q & A forum, where it will be answered. Please only post relevant threds in Developement & Hacking.
To answer your question:
Has he tried a hardreset? Maybe this is a bug related to the change of the CSC.
Are you sure that the phone was not damaged in any way while sending it to your brother? Let him take a look at the SIM-tray and see if a pin is missing, broken or whatever. This happened to a friend's phone just recently.
If nothing works, try to flash another ROM. If this doesn't fix your issue, it is most probably a hardware defect.
Sorry for posting in wrong section, guess i was in a hurry n didnt realize dat. Btw d problem has been identified n it turns out dat d sims from local carriers r different n d chip does not really come in contact with d pins due to different dimensions. In pic top 1 doesnt work while bottom one works.

hii evrybody,
first i can't contact the seller because i buy it from my freind who bought it from another country ... he is a reliable seller and he always buy from him
well the phone was amazing smooth , great camera and all , just like any other galaxy S5
but one time i put my IMEI number into ( imei.info ) and boom the web cite says that this imei is for a Note 4
i cheaked the imei with *#06# and it's the same on the back of the phone
another freind say to me dial *#1234# and if the last 3 numbers from each line are the same that mean that the software isn't edited and it's official
well this is the result ....

If it says G900P in download mode, that's the model you have
well , then why it says that this is g900F on device info
and will i loose sim unlock if i flash it
+
i just notice that i can't find wifi hotspot on settings like any other s5
Have a read through the forums, there are a good few others with the same thing, G900F on device info, the box, the sticker under the battery etc, but in download mode it says a different model, and that is the correct model

i am new in the forum :v
can you help me to find a post wich explains this case
Nothing to explain, they are sold as a popular model when they are not actually that model at all, just to make sales most likely
Doesn't matter about being new to the forum, you know how to read lol

HELP ???
Hello,
I know that the phone will be releasing on the 11th, and all the pre-order options available are through carriers. I will be ordering online since I live in DR, where do you think I could buy the Unlocked international version of the cellphone?
Thank you.
Ebay. There are several available. It is the Exynos version. SM-935F

Compare Ebay and Amazon to European stores such as Unlocked Mobiles and Clove UK, see which comes out cheaper.
Depends where you are just go to an independant shop that sells all networks and that phone will be the int unlocked version or country version with no bloat ware unless you click on yes on first boot up and install it by mistake , but that can be deleted anyway

Hi
I'm quite interested in the carrier customisation stuff.
What do you mean by click yes on first boot up? What does it say you are clicking yes to? Any screenshots? Have you clicked yes?
Further info much appreciated!
Thanks!
When you boot up a unlocked version you get a pop up in your notifications , for me that's a Vodafone notification which asks you to click on the notification to install their software , it is a pain but if you do nothing the request is gone on the next boot up , this happens in European phones I don't know if it happens on every country my phone is a phn model

Looks like I have unlocked now [emoji1]

Yes the T-Mobile S7 / S7 edge can only be unlocked by the built in device unlock app now
We unlocked quite a few today
Did you order an unlock or was it unlocked by T-Mobile as you purchased it outright?
I am trying to register my phone onto Samsung's website but there are a ridiculous amount of variants of the SM-G935F.
About > Settings only appears to show "SM-G935F".
Any ideas?

Wrong.
My 'Baseband version' is G935FXXU1APB2.
That is not on that Samsung list - probably because it's not asking for my baseband version...
EDIT: The SamMobile Device Info app on the Play Store found it for me.
I don't know exactly where you will find this information, but they are related to the version of software installed by the carrier - for example, the EVR variants are supplied by and locked to EE, the O2x variants are supplied by and locked to O2.
Mine came from the Carphone Warehouse - they tend to ship phones that do NOT have the carriers own software, and to confirm this, mine is the top variant in the list (ABTU). I registered my phone online using my phone, and it somehow auto detected the correct variant.
